friday, September 9, 1977 page 2 daily nebraskan Treaty signed by Carter Washington-President Carter signed the historic and much-debated Panama Canal treaty Wednesday night, hailing it as "A symbol of mutual respect and coopera tion." Carter joined Panama's ruling general, Omar Torrijos, in signing the agreement that at the end of this century could fin ally give Panama control of the water way carved through its midsection more than 63 yean ago. ,The signing ceremony climaxed what may have been Washington's biggest diplo matic extravaganza-a three-day affair of talks and social activities attended by leaders of numerous Western Hemi sphere nations. In the audience for the colorful cere- associated press datelines mony were representatives of 25 other nations, former President Gerald Ford, former Secretaries of State Henry Kissing er and William Rogers and Lady Bird John son. ' .; Although the treaty caps 13 years of negotiations inspired by violence and the threat of violence along the canal that links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, celebrations over the pact may be prema ture. The canal treaty has won much more acclaim in Latin America than it has in the U.S. Senate, which could nullify the festivities by failing to ratify the treaty by a required two-thirds vote. The vote is expected to come next year. Simonson defeated . Madison, Wis.-Dane County Judge Archie Simonson, whose remarks linking sexual permissiveness with rape created a furor in this liberal university commun ity, was defeated in a recall election Wednesday -by a woman attorney with strong feminist backing, Unofficial final returns, with all 137 of Dane County's wards reporting, showed Moria Krueger with 27,244 votes com pared with 18,435 for Simonson, whose regular six-year term as judge would have expired next April. Assistant family court commissioner Daniel Moeser ran third with 15,250 votes, followed by three other Madison attorneys. William Bradford Smith with , 8,446, Robert Burr with 5,190 and Worth Piper with 3,342. The judge, took an early lead in rural areas but quickly fell to second place as Madison ballots were counted. Simonson, 52, was forced into the recall election by a 35 ,000-signature petition drive after he made comments from the bench linking rape and women's clothing. Krueger, who spent more than $15,000 in the campaign backed by area feminists, led the field of six candidates. There will be no runoff election. Simonson, who voted" early in the day at the same school where three youths allegedly raped a 16-year-o'd girl last year, drew national attention and the anger of local feminists for his comments from the bench during a hearing in the case. The judge said during the campaign that his comments were rhetorical and he does not personally believe Madison's sexually permissive climate or provocative women's clothing makes rape a normal reaction in a young man. More about Lance Washington-Two banks gave Bert Lance unusual treatment when they loan ed him money and covered for his over drafts before he became UJS. budget dir ector, the federal bank regulator said in a The regulator, Comptroller of the Cur rency John G. Heimann, came to that con- elusion in a report on two secondary issues, in the Lance controversy. Heimann still is preparing reports on Lance's personal use of bank aircraft and the" original comptroller's investigation of Lance's banking affairs. In his latest report, Heimann criticized the- Calhoun First National Bank for .its practice of having a bank employee write checks to cover $2 million in Lance's over drafts from December 1975 to August 1976. Lance was chairman of the Calhoun bank at the time. The checks were drawn on the National Bank of Georgia, which Lance headed. If Lance became overdrawn in the Calhcun bank, the money automatically would come from his account at the other bank. The comptroller said the service also was available to some other customers, including directors, and they were not illegal. Bizzare shootout Homewood, 111.
